3.2 Coulomb's Law Flashcards
1
Q
Coulomb’s Law
A
Describes the electrostatic force between two charged objects.
2
Q
Point charge.
A
Small positive or negative charge.
3
Q
How did coulomb determine the k constant?
A
Two equally charged masses were placed close. By measuring the amount of twist when the charges repelled each other the force could be measured and the constant could be determined.
